using layer’s name instead of index
hiya, i want to know how can i link up the value thru expression for layers using their layer name rather than index number. say, i have a layer called TEXT 1 and want to follow the position of another layer called Null 1, without considering their layer order inside a comp, just because their layer name ended with “1”. and so on, TEXT 2 will follow Null 2, TEXT 3 will follow Null 3…….
thanks

If the names are in that format (“Text 1”, “Null 1″, etc.), you could do something like this:
myNum = name.split(” “)[1];
myNull = thisComp.layer(“Null ” + myNum);
myNull.position;Dan
